MAINTENANCE'
Read ‘Safety information’ on page 3 before servicing the fixture.
Refer any service operation not described in this user manual to a qualified service technician.
Disconnect mains power before cleaning or servicing the fixture.
Service the fixture in an area where there is no risk of injury from falling parts, tools or other materials.
Cleaning
Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will
damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the
product warranty.
The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.
Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is
therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the fixture. Environmental factors that
may result in a need for frequent cleaning include:
• Use of smoke or fog machines.
• High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example).
• Presence of cigarette smoke.
• Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the natural environment at
outdoor events, for example).
If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first 100 hours of operation to
see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at frequent intervals.
This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your particular situation.
If in doubt, consult your Cinemeccanica dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area.
Do not use any product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause surface damage.
To clean the fixture:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture and the air
vents with low-pressure compressed air.
3. Clean the LED lenses by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak
detergent solution. Do not rub the surface hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press.
Dry with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an
unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water.
4. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.
